Should I try to increase supply?

My LO is 3 months old and I've been pumping from the start. I think my supply is basically established because I get about 23oz a day no matter how many pumps I do. My LO is a preemie, so she's eating anywhere between 20-25oz a day. I usually can keep an extra 10oz in the fridge, but it goes away if she has a growth spurt. I have a very, very small freezer supply, enough for maybe a day. Should I be trying mother's milk or any of the other tricks to increase my supply? I can't eat oatmeal though.

You can try mothers milk tea, and fenugreek. Try herblore.com i have a local breastfeeding store next to where i live and im using the nursing tinture, goats rue, fenugreek and mothers milk tea and im pumping 8oz every 4 hours combined And my lo eats anywhere from 6-8 ounces and STTN. I have started a stash because i go back to work in 3 weeks. The BM supplements work for me but everyone's body is different. Oh and my lo will be 3 months on may 15th. Good luck

I have been pumping 23 ounces a day since my 11 month was 3 months. I was sooo worried but the doctor said 23 ounces a day is fine and Kelly mom said babies cn safely have 18 to 31 ounces a day as long as they are having enough wet diapers and are not fussy. You should be fine :)

I'm mainly thinking for future urposes so I don't have to pump for as long as she needs milk. I'd love to be able to stop pumping if I have enough of a freezer stash, but wasn't sure if I should just keep doing what I'm doing since it's working.
